I work with individuals, couples and families experiencing relationship strain, repeated conflict, emotional distance, family tension or major life changes. Together, we explore what is keeping things stuck, improve communication, understand unhelpful patterns and work towards greater clarity, connection and healthier ways forward. I offer a complimentary chemistry session for us to see if we will work well together. the link is on my website - michaelleak.co.za
I support individuals, couples and families experiencing relationship strain, conflict, emotional distance or difficult life transitions. My approach is practical, supportive and non-judgemental, helping clients understand what is happening, improve communication, work through challenges and find healthier, more constructive ways forward.
Reaching out can feel difficult, especially when things have been unresolved for some time. You do not need to have everything figured out before starting. If you feel stuck, disconnected or unsure of the way forward, you are welcome to reach out and we can explore what is happening and whether working together feels right for you.

I work with couples and families to identify the patterns and stressors shaping their relationships. Treatment often includes mapping dynamics, improving communication, and shifting unhelpful cycles. Clients can expect clearer understanding, more stability, and healthier ways of engaging with one another.
